"The Master Angler"

We had a great week Bruce, the accommodations were great, and the guys who hadn't been to your place yet were really impressed. Even though I complained about the weather all week, it was my best week ever fish production-wise. Bob, my brother-in-law Joe, and myself totaled 273 fish. As usual, Bob was the master angler. He caught a 21" smallmouth, a 44" Pike, and to cap it off, he caught 3 muskies in ONE DAY!

Thanks as always, we will be seeing you again this fall!Dave Fish

"Greetings from Toronto"

We miss the beauty of Georgian Bay, 30,000 Islands; the scenery and your wonderful Resort. I caught a smallmouth bass one evening just off the dock using a silver and gold Cotton Cordel rattler. It was one for the biggest smallies I've ever caught weighing in at 3.5 lbs. (See photo in recent catches photo gallery). You don't have to go far to catch nice size fish in Pointe au Baril.

Thanks for a great week.Art from Toronto, Ontario

"Annual Family Fishing Trip"

My father and I spent many wonderful times travelling all over Ontario trying to find that perfect lodge for spending our annual fishing trips together. Then we stumbled upon Pleasant Cove Resort on Georgian Bay. 10 years later my annual fishing trip has been passed down to include my son and daughter. The fishing and accommodations here have spoiled them to the point where they won't consider trying other lodges. I guess catching our limit in Walleye every single time we go out to fish might be the reason. Huge Pike, a 46 inch Muskie and the biggest Bass I have ever caught in my life all came from the waters around Pleasant Cove. The cabins are perfectly equipped and the boats and staff are top notch. By the end of the day we are all so tired from all that fishing that we hardly have any energy left to play tennis, basketball, swim or sauna. After our BBQ meal or fish fry we relax and look forward to more of the same tomorrow. Make this Lodge your annual trip and you won't be disappointed.
